Stoli Elit is a noticeably smoother version of the original clear vodka produced by Stolichnaya. This bottling is for the vodka connoisseur who enjoys sipping it well-chilled or mixes it in "transparent" cocktails like the Vodka Martini. Stoli Elit gets its smooth profile from some extra filtering that the other Stoli vodkas do not and that makes a world of difference in a side-by-side tasting of the two.

Stoli Elit has a clean, rich and grainy aroma that leads to a warm and silky entry. This melds into a palate of citrus, warm caramel and grainy notes. The finish is delicate, quick and warm. Overall a fine Russian vodka and one of the smoothest available in most any market.
